Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
It is important to document thoroughly the patient's experience during the feeding so the other nursing staff will be aware of patient's needs including any episodes of coughing, gagging, or choking; respiratory status; hesitancy or fear of eating; and occurrences of nausea, vomiting, regurgitation, and/or reflux symptoms. The nurse should also document the protocol used, the amount food eaten, and fluid intake.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of medical conditions characterized by insulin resistance and the presence of obesity, abdominal fat, elevated blood glucose, triglycerides, serum cholesterol, and hypertension. Smoking is not part of the syndrome.
